Greater Bay Airlines orders 15 Boeing 737 MAX 9 Aircraft.....

Greater Bay Airlines has put in an order for 15 737 MAX 9 aeroplanes, with a further commitment for five 787 Dreamliners.  




The new Hong Kong-based carrier said the 737 MAX 9 will form the backbone of its future fleet as it seeks to operate more flights between Hong Kong and major cities in Asia and Mainland China. GBA plans to leverage the 737 MAX 9's enhanced capacity and range to lower trip costs and expand its network.

"The 737 MAX 9 will allow GBA to open up new routes from Hong Kong with unmatched economics," said Wong Cho Bau, chairman of GBA. "The new order will bring fantastic growth possibilities to GBA and enable us to strive for excellence in an innovative way for our valued customers."

GBA is an all-Boeing carrier currently operating a fleet of three 737-800 jets with flights to four destinations, including Bangkok, Taipei, Tokyo and Seoul. The airline also plans to bring in a number of additional 737-800s to meet its expansion needs before the arrival of the 737 MAX 9.

"GBA's commitment for 737 MAX 9s is a major endorsement of our 737 MAX family and its ability to serve new markets," said Stan Deal, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "The 737 MAX 9 will provide GBA with unmatched efficiency and reliability and lower operating costs, while continuing to provide a premium on-board experience for its passengers."
